Please shoot me for my tardiness in posting this so late...

Will T4 be "Starship Troopers" reprised, but without the satire? I suspect so. Notice how reminiscent too the giant terminator is of the bug Johnny Rico destroyed with grenades.As for "Persepolis", I understand it's just come out on DVD here, so it will be interesting to learn if it presents a purely reactionary interpretation of the Iranian Revolution. I understand though that Marjane Satrapi's parents were socialist activists, so there is some chance my fears may be allayed.
